Default Reduce Traffic - Turn left on a RED

Mark Brader:
ObOn-topic version: indicates that none of the next *four* signals is red,
intended to authorize speeds above 125 mph...


Clive Feather:
Next *three*; the fourth can be red: FG, G, YY, Y, R.


Inclusive reckoning? Yeah, that's it, it was inclusive reckoning.

Thanks Clive. Wading through the legalese (*when* are the Plain English
Society going to start having an influence on those who draw up
legislation? ) I now know far more than I ever cared to about traffic
lights!

But more importantly you (and other posters) have corrected an erroneous
belief that I had. Thanks.

I have a vague memory of seeing a red filter arrow in France. Quite
intuitive after you've got over the surprise.


Yes, fairly normal in France, as is the more sensible Red to Green with no
amber (actually used within the British Isles as well - Jersey for example).

Mind you, our lights are far better when it comes to visiblity. The French
lights are so dim that they almost disappear in daylight!
